Well if you 80 pea plants and 20 of them are short and 60 are tall in fractions it will be 20/80 and 60/80, it is asking you for the percentage of tall stem plants so divide 60 by 80 but to make it easier cross out the 0 and divide 6 by 8 to get 75%.

<span>20 short out of 80 total = 20/80 = 1/4 = 25%
60 tall out of 80 total = 60/80 = 3/4 = 75%</span>
